• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: in Parliament. However, my conviction is that the Powers and Privileges Committee, if it continues with diligence in the manner in which this particular one has proceeded, we will not have to set up a separate ombudsman to look at issues.

Invariably, oversight Committees will rattle powerful persons who want to violate the law and who want to dip their hands in places that they are not supposed to. We need to have that conversation and find a way of buttressing these ... view

The process of the transfer of assets and liabilities of these defunct authorities to county governments is still ongoing. If this process is not superintended or supervised, then counties stand to lose lot of assets, particularly land that belongs to schools. It is ... view
